Pretty much agree with your ladder there DG although my bias would probably elevate Swans to 4th in front of the Sharks and Falcons and Peel may get their act together and challenge for the top 4
Premiers I go for Souths
Sandover - Kepler Bradley

I was thinking the same thing about making a prediction DG....its a bit hard to predict the order of the top five but will have a go anyway..

Subi - will be thereabouts..lost a few but gained a few and have some excellent colts coming through. subi didn't suffer greatly at draft time and managed to maintain their core players with the exception of Bristow.
SF - big improver with a new coach and some quality recruits
EF - should have played in last years GF
WART - lost some experience through retirements and delistings but still full time footballers so will give it a shake.
Cl - some good ins

SD - wouldn't surprise with a higher spot in the five
WP - lost some big names through retirement and just can't see Bradley staying healthy long enough to make a huge difference
FART - surely must start to improve eventually
Dees - sorry to see them down at the bottom again but I think they missed the recruitment and coaching boat.

Mildly scary imps


Sandover Bing Lee, Black again

I can't see where Swans are going to go flying up the ladder, same with souths, but who knows - it's wait and see. For me, the bolter is going to be the Monts. Had there have been a 5 last year, I reckon they could have made the GF. Sharks could go ok if they get rid of this 7.26 shite

Here's my rough ladder at this stage:

Claremont
Subiaco
East Perth
East Fremantle
South Fremantle
Swan Districts
West Perth
Perth
Peel

Will obviously have to look at the preseason form of teams to make a final say before round one.

Ripper, WP are back where we usually are in punters eyes, bottom 3. Watch out for the Falcons in 2015 !

Top 5 certainty's imo...

To be honest the teams I can see that I'm pretty sure will not be making the finals are Peel and my Demons. Other than that I think the other seven teams all have very realistic chances of making the finals. Sorry if it sounds like I'm sitting on the fence but that's the way I see it looking at the ins and outs over each team and knowing the type of football they can play.

Subi
Claremont
South Freo
East Freo
Garlic Munchers
Swans
TFKAEP
Peel
Perth

I'm predicting (and hoping for) a big fall from East Perth, as their seasoned players drop off and get replaced by AFL potentials who are just there to learn game plans.
